Abstract

In this tutorial, we focused on constructing a peptide from individual amino acids using Avogadro v2 and analyzing its geometry. The video covers: Building a peptide by sequentially connecting amino acids in the 3D workspace. Using Avogadro’s tools to measure bond lengths, bond angles, and dihedral angles to verify the peptide’s geometry. This tutorial is ideal for students and researchers in biochemistry, molecular modeling, and structural biology who want to learn peptide construction and geometric analysis in a 3D environment.
